You know, as much as I love to listen to the song, I can't really respect the message in the lyrics. It appears to be not so much a love song as a "convenience song." The message is "You don't try to cling to me, and I really appreciate that about you." Sounds like a guy that is happy that he found a girl who doesn't care if he won't commit.
That said... I really love to listen to the song. There's something about the way Campbell executes it that makes me all wistful in spite of myself.

The ‘60s counterculture was engineered.
New world order trivia...
Did you know that Jim Morrison’s (of The Doors) father was (future) Rear Admiral George Stephen Morrison, who was in command of the carrier division at the Gulf of Tonkin incident ?

It’s a hobo’s ballad. I was in college then & thought that’s not how I want to end up.
Liked “Wichita Lineman” much better. Glad that Glen Campbell is still with us.

That’s what I get from the lyrics, too. I recall when Dinah Shore had her TV show she once remarked she thought it was the most chauvinistic song she’d heard.
